Saw a mag yesterday, "LinuxUser&Developer" which had Agnula DeMuDi on so I thought i'd give it a go. Cost £6
Shit, what a surprise especially as everything worked first go. It detected all the hardware and even the onboard gForce 6:1 surround sound.
The "Hydrogen" drun sequencer/pattern editor is fantastic, just been doing a track with that and zynaddsubfx, which works better on Linux.
There are loads of music stuff on it, muse and rosegarden midi sequencers, 3 or 4 modular synths, a nice analogue synth, some trackers and loads of other music apps Fx and compressors etc.
It uses the "jack" server to connect to any audio device and in anyway by the looks of it. Took me a while to suss it out though. Very low latency, got 2.7ms at 48k but then increased it to 20 odd to give me more headroom for instruments. You can use an external or on screen midi keyboard or the kwerty keys but you need to make a connection in "jack"
An easy install and put on a 10gb partition, it has a built in partition manager and also a boot loader for dual doot systems. The only problem I found was with the boot loader screen, it only gives 3 seconds to choose an operating system on boot so you need to be quick with the arrow keys to get down to windows. The last on the list. Tip, allways read what's on screen and when you get the password sreen up look at the tabs at the top. Try booting in "Flux"..and change to baroque desktop? Looks nice...
I'm now going to repartition my drive and install it proper.
Well worth the £6 
So a Linux done track coming soon.
